OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) has a suite of smart grid price communication and transaction standards in development and public review. TeMIX is a profile (subset) of the OASIS standards.

A grid cannot be smart unless all tenders (price offers) and transactions are clearly communicated, recorded, executed and paid for and each party has full access to tenders and can transact in its own interest with other parties.

Advisory Services

♦TeMIX Inc provides training, product design and advisory services to developers of devices and services that can benefit from participating in a smart grid using TeMIX messaging.

TeMIX Platform cloud based services are deployed incrementally expanding from a single customer or feeder to an entire grid.

The TeMIX Platform's computer and communications resources for large deployments expand only in proportion to the number of nodes, customer, generation, and transmission elements cordinated. This provides huge savings in contrast to conventional dispatch and control methods for large grids.

The Temix Platform interfaces naturally with standard distribution and transmission grid models that characterize the current state and constraints of the grid.

A New Book on Transactive Energy

Click on this book cover to link to the ibook for iPad and Mac

This book is about applying fundamental business concepts

to move our electric power markets to a new paradigm. The

heart of the new paradigm is the use of forward and spot

transactions to guide investment and operating decisions.

The current paradigm is regulated cost-of-service and centralized

resource optimization. This old paradigm will gradually

give way to the new model as the electric system evolves

from centrally planned to a decentralized energy ecosystem.

The new business and regulatory model, Transactive Energy

(TE), scales well. It can coordinate decisions across the full

spectrum of size and technology. It works equally well for

central power-plant planning and for smart home-appliance

operation. It supports both competitive pricing and cost-ofservice

pricing.

The TE model embodies four big ideas:

• There are two products: energy and transport services.

• Forward transactions are used to manage risk and coordinate

investment decisions.

• Spot transactions are used to coordinate operating decisions.

• All parties act autonomously.

Our am by writing this book is to expedite Transactive Energy as the normal way of doing business -- globally. Transactive Energy is the keystone of an efficient, fair, and transparent electric power system.
